Itâs as if, like, if you are a woman, and also in a disfavoured racial category, like, where they, uh, have overlap? Where they meet? Itâs not the same as either one individually but its own, I guess nexus? I feel like thereâs a better word for this
I think itâs called a âdouble minorityâ, but being a woman isnât really a minority tho (edit: not a minority in the context of being 50% of the human population) so I donât know if theres a better term than that.
I feel bad for people who are black, lesbian, neurodivergent, and trans-woman⊠like thatâs a quadruple minority.
It depends on the context. In a Victoriaâs Secret fashion show? Yeah, probably not the minority. In a tech role, which women are systemically harassed and bullied out of pursuing? Yeah, women are probably a minority.
Thatâs not what minority means in the sociological context. Volume is mathematical. Poor people are a minority and thereâs more of them than the 1%. Being a minority is about lack of power, prestige and property.
And intersectionality is the more formal term, but âdouble minorityâ gets the point across.
idk the point of your snark⊠people are still figuring out intersectionality. just give some education or stfu, dont condescend to people who are making an effort.
apropos of nothing, intersectionality came out of critical race theoryâs analyses of black womens outcomes in the legal system. the particular combination of oppression is literally the textbook example.

Thereâs a somewhat niche, but clever word for this particular combo - misogynoir

The term is âintersectionalityâ. Conservatives really hated the term before they went all popeyed over âwokeâ.
They certainly are in computer science

@ReiRose@lemmy.world has it right, the term and idea is intersectionality.
